Why? Well first, haute couture is the highest level of fashion, with only a select group of designers allowed into the vaulted circle (for a refresher, here's your guide to Haute Couture 101). So just having the privilege of wearing a couture design is huge—usually it's the mega-stars on the awards season red carpet who are granted the chance. But what really has me blown away (and impressed) is that the French designer JUST showed his spring 2014 couture collection in Paris three days ago (January 21 to be exact) and Rita Ora posed in one of the pieces in Los Angeles last night. Although, she went belt-less (but belts are so maje for the season... ).

My big question: How did Rita get the dress so quickly and from so far?! Not to be an Instagram stalker, but on the day of the Vauthier runway show, she was in Vancouver filming Fifty Shades and celebrating a castmate's birthday. Then on January 23, she landed in Los Angeles to partake in some In-N-Out Burger, shop with Pixie Geldof and Alexa Chung, and hit some pre-Grammys parties, where she wore said dress. Did a friend smuggle the piece out of Paris in a carry-on suitcase? (Sophia pointed out that usually couture pieces need to go through customs when they're crossing national borders.) Are there two dresses? Why do I care so much? I really just do.

If you have any theories, please share in the comments! I also wonder if any Vauthier couture gowns will make an appearance on the Grammys red carpet.
